The familiar introductory sequence of the Hapan News Network flows across the screen. As the sequence reaches its conclusion, Anacia Chalcedon appears on screen, flashing a bright smile before approaching the topic at hand.

“Good evening Hapes!

Fireworks are filling the sky around Lorell Hall as celebrations ensue in the cooling evening of Chume`Dan, over the sixth anniversary of the signing of the Neshig Accords. The accords, signed by Trade Federation and Hapes Consortium in the galactic year eleven, created a comprehensive alliance between the two great and like-minded governments, solidifying their already close relations, and creating a power bloc inside the Imperial Union, the coalition both groups belonged to at the time.

While festive crowds are gathering around the northern districts of the capital to enjoy the lightshow on display, a particularly notable gathering is taking place a short distance away to the south within the Fountain Palace; Viceroy Jacob Jansen, the formidable leader who has ruled Trade Federation for almost a decade, is meeting with His Majesty Rai'ix Chume Zayth Kadrim, as well a small circle of hapan officials, to commemorate the occasion. The other notable figures reported to be present are Tarix Chume Gane Lant, Fel`da Regalix Alarendor Cyrus, Fel`da Xesh Randell, as well as Diran'da Alexander Tylger.

The Viceroy is said to have arrived to the Cluster roughly a week ago with a large retinue of Federation officers and officials, as part of a diplomatic tour de force of all the Galactic Concordiate capitals. Though the entourage proceeded onward from hapan space after the reception held at the Fountain Palace, where the Federation gifted the Consortium with a number of its famous Lucrehulk ships, Viceroy Jansen is known to have made room from his schedule to be able to hold several consecutive high powered meetings over the duration of his stay, the latest one with Pëlin`a Jessica James, as well as to attend today's ceremonies at the Fountain Palace. Amongst the topics discussed are believed to have been matters of state and shared strategic interests, as well as the development of the Galactic Concordiate and its ongoing debate over its expansion policy, although the event today is said to be purely reserved for the commemoration of the bonds that have made possible this remarkable alliance between the two regional powers.

As the meeting at the Royal Hapan Palace are being held behind closed doors, we will now take you to the Lorell Hall instead, where a government spokesmen is ready to give us a brief statement regarding the occasion.”


The image of Chalcedon is replaced with a feed from the Lorell Hall press conference auditorium where a young hapani female in a crisp attire stands behind a small ornate podium, ready to begin with the statement.

“Six years can be a long time even in galactic politics, and His Majesty Rai'ix Chume Kadrim has only the utmost gratitude and appreciation for the stability and depth of the alliance the Consortium has been able to enjoy with the Trade Federation for all these years, as well as for the personal efforts by Viceroy Jansen to maintain them through the reign of not only one, but the three Kings of Hapes that he has witnessed in his time as ruler of the Federation. If the Neshig Accords and the bonds existing with the Trade Federation are seen as defining Hapes' foreign affairs and moderating its isolationism, then that very bond is best personified in Viceroy Jansen and his contributions to it.” The speaker pauses briefly for effect prior to continuing.

“The Federation has never been stronger, and we remain proud of our shared history with them, to be standing with them as partners within the Galactic Concordiate, and thus look forward with great confidence to the challenges that may lay ahead. Whatever may come, the Neshig Accords and our membership with the Galactic Concordiate continue to help preserve the peace and prosperity of the Cluster as well as the bordering space.

Thank you for your time everyone, and good night.”
